Collection: Innana: Celestial Paradox Collection

Inanna is the oldest named goddess in recorded history. Her symbols were pressed into clay tablets in Sumer over four thousand years ago. The eight-pointed star that bears her name was visible in the sky as Venus, the first light at dawn and the last at dusk. The Sumerians called her the Morning Star. She governed love, war, and political authority simultaneously. In the oldest recorded myth of transformation, she descended through seven gates and surrendered everything she carried; by the seventh she stood with nothing, and that was the moment she held the most power. The paradox is the point.

The House's proprietary prints carry her symbols from the Sumerian archaeological record: the eight-pointed Star of Ishtar, the Ring and Rod of kingship, guardian lions, Mesopotamian date palms, roses, and the vulva, documented on cylinder seals and temple walls dating back to 3000 BCE as a marker of sovereignty over the body. The poet Enheduanna was the first named author in recorded history who wrote hymns to Inanna.

The collection includes maxi dresses in linen and cotton blends and cotton with satin finishes. Palettes range from celestial blue and gold on white to deep Bordeaux with tonal prints that reveal themselves in layers depending on the light. Fully lined in cotton. Concealed zippers. Buttoned cuffs. Pockets in every piece.

These are dresses for milestone dinners, evening events, gallery openings, cultural gatherings, and any room where the lighting is low and the conversation is worth having.

Each piece is produced in limited runs, preserving distinction within the collection.
